“ “War is peace. Freedom is slavery. Ignorance is strength.” ”
1984 • George Orwell“„One thing, however, did become clear to him [Goldmund] – why so many perfect works of art did not please him at all, why they were almost hateful and boring to him, in spite of a certain undeniable beauty. Workshops, churches, and palaces were full of these fatal works of art; he had even helped with a few himself. They were deeply disappointing because they aroused the desire for the highest and did not fulfill it. They lacked the most essential thing – mystery. That was what dreams and truly great works of art had in common: mystery.“”

Essays • Michel De Montaigne“When a thing is funny, search it carefully for a hidden truth.”
Back to Methusaleh • George Bernard Shaw“It is not fit that I should give myself pain, for I have never intentionally given pain even to another.”
